Lord Glentoran

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they support the action last week of the Labour Members of the European Parliament, who voted for a retrospective whole herd slaughter policy. [HL2619]

Baroness Hayman

The agreed policy of the Labour group of MEPs was to vote against the amendments that would introduce herd slaughter. Mistaken votes recorded for two Labour MEPs were subsequently corrected.
